Referees are ruining Test matches by being more focused on trying to teach props how to scrum and less on enforcing the laws of the game, according to former England hooker Brian Moore.

, Moore dove into Saturday’s Six Nations match between England and Wales at Twickenham, which was edged by Eddie Jones’ side.

“You can, if you like, dismiss the following as an isolated example or, if you are honest, you can admit that what I describe happens too often and turns off potential rugby converts.”Moore praised matchday referee Mike Adamson for being sharp in open play and at the breakdown, but was concerned with how long it took for scrums and lineouts to be completed.

“In no other aspect of play do referees feel it right to coach and players know what they should do without being told. A referee’s job is to enforce the law and the game would be better off if they did this in the scrum.
